There’s no way you’re actually this dumb. Come on. Quit trolling.
- Comment on hmm breakfast 1 week ago:
Unfortunately, I didn’t have to Google who that is.
- Comment on My own copyparty instance 1 week ago:
For the love of Christ, take it down. Why would you do that to yourself?
- Comment on 3-bean soup 1 week ago:
Pfft, clearly I was not reading carefully.
- Comment on 3-bean soup 1 week ago:
Mm, luckily “vanilla beans” aren’t actually beans. I think the people can handle the idea of a two-bean soup much better, don’t you?
- Comment on hmm breakfast 1 week ago:
We have?
- Comment on They say word-of-mouth marketing is the most effective form of marketing. What games did you (not) enjoy that came well-recommended by friends to you, and why did they recommend it to you? 3 weeks ago:
So it’s about the skill ceiling, or just the shape of the difficulty curve, or…? I definitely don’t fall into that group, so I’m curious.
- Comment on Why are anime catgirls blocking my access to the Linux kernel? 2 months ago:
Oh, I didn’t think about the fact that they’re a CA. That’s a good point; thanks for the info.
- Comment on Why are anime catgirls blocking my access to the Linux kernel? 2 months ago:
Maybe I’m misunderstanding what “behind cloudflare” means in this context, but I have a couple of my sites proxied through cloudflare to prevent scrapers, and they definitely don’t have my keys.
- Comment on Why are anime catgirls blocking my access to the Linux kernel? 2 months ago:
Is there a reason other than avoiding infrastructure centralization not to put a web server behind cloudflare?
- Comment on Codeberg: army of AI crawlers are extremely slowing us; AI crawlers learned how to solve the Anubis challenges. 2 months ago:
Crawlers aren’t LLMs; they can do arbitrary computations (whatever the target demands to access resources).
- Comment on mITX boards on amazon any good? 3 months ago:
A couple decades at least?
- Comment on Be nice 3 months ago:
There are; they’re called “stablecoins”.
- Comment on Be nice 3 months ago:
Even bullshit essays should have a soul.
- Comment on Duckstation(one of the most popular PS1 Emulators) dev plans on eventually dropping Linux support due to Linux users, especially Arch Linux users. 3 months ago:
Assuming newer versions are derived from code that was licensed GPL in the old version, the newer versions (which include new code) are also licensed GPL, whether the person writing the new code likes it or not.

How has nobody posted the geology XKCD yet?
- Comment on Rule34 blocked the UK entirely rather than comply due to the new law. 3 months ago:
Realistically one can come up with any number of axes and still be wrong, because the domain of politics isn’t a metric space.
- Comment on Rule34 blocked the UK entirely rather than comply due to the new law. 3 months ago:
That’s a political compass, and it’s still missing several political axes.
- Comment on cookie combs 3 months ago:
It’s not a plain tiling problem, it’s a circle packing problem. The optimal euclidean circle packing results in each cookie having six cookies around it, and so when they melt, hexagons.

It works fine for me, fwiw

It doesn’t feel finite, I’ll tell you that much.
- Comment on Plex has paywalled my server! 4 months ago:
unless they stole your buddy’s credentials
Thank God trolls never steal people’s credentials so they can hack a small server because they’re bored.
- Comment on Plex has paywalled my server! 4 months ago:
True, though WinRar is technically neither.
- Comment on Friendly reminder that Tailscale is VC-funded and driving towards IPO 4 months ago:
would you rather …
If it means no VC, yes, without a doubt. That’s kind of the point.
- Comment on Good experience with neko remote browser 5 months ago:
Because cat people are weird as fuck.
- Comment on Do you actually audit open source projects you download? 5 months ago:
I’m writing a paper on this, actually. Basically, it’s okay-ish at it, but has definite blind spots. The most promising route is to have AI use a traditional static analysis tool, rather than evaluate the code directly.
- Comment on That's all folks, Plex is starting to charge for sharing 6 months ago:
To be fair, there has been very slow progress toward securing some endpoints. But yeah, I was probably being too charitable; the project places way too much emphasis on “backward compatibility” and not enough on security.
- Comment on That's all folks, Plex is starting to charge for sharing 6 months ago:
You probably shouldn’t just expose jellyfin to the internet quite yet though. There are some ongoing efforts to fix unauthenticated endpoint problems.
- Comment on Sharing Jellyfin 6 months ago:
Oh, go away.
- Comment on minecraft alternative for windows and android 6 months ago:
None-exist with both a PC client and mobile app, unfortunately.
